11.6.1 Viewing Different Cues in the Editor

In addition to the usual functions available in all editors, described in Editors, the Cue Editor window has controls that allow you to select which cue is displayed:

• Next and Back: The Next and Back buttons to allow you to easily step through the cues in the cuelist to view or edit them.

• View Cue: You can jump to another cue by typing its number in to the View Cue box and pressing the Enter key.

• Follow Current: If you select the Follow Current button, the Cue Editor window will always show the current cue as the cuelist is played back. If you use Next, Back or View Cue to view another cue, or if you edit the current cue, then Follow Current is disabled.

• Follow Next: This is similar to Follow Current, except that the next cue is displayed rather than the current one. When the last cue is played, the first cue in the cuelist is displayed.

	Tip
	As well as the buttons in the Cue Editor window, you can also step through the cues using the Next and Back keys while holding down the Cue key.
